+Mounting Windows file systems
+=============================
+
+From January 2018 WSL 1 allows to mount external NTFS file systems as ``drvfs``. ``metadata`` option
+allows ``chmod`` operation on NTFS volumes, metadata will be shared across all WSL distros though.

+ Chmod/Chown WSL Improvements.
+
+To preserve customization between WSL reloads update ``/etc/wsl.conf`` with something like::
-::
+ [automount]
+ enabled = true
+ mountFsTab = false
+ options = "metadata,noatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,fmask=077"
+
+Equivalent CLI call is::
+
+ sudo mount -t drvfs 'C:\' /mnt/c -o metadata,noatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,fmask=077
